"KEMH amazing staff, no costs, pediatrician, anaesthetist and obstetrician on duty 24/7 so no wait for epidurals as in private, plus lactation consultants, free loan breast pumps and great food!!" - PMG Member

"King Edward Memorial Hospital was brilliant. Had to use the NICU and SCU when our twins came early. Excellent staff. Only down side is no family except grandparents allowed in NICU and SCU, and no cameras. But everything was excellent." - PMG Member

"The KEMH Family Birth Centre is amazing. Beautiful midwives that look after you so well and at no cost. Had an amazing water birth and a great induction in the hospital with them." - PMG Member

"Couldn't recommend the Family Birthing Centre at King Eddies enough. My Midwife and her team were amazing and supported my family every step of our journey. Would definitely go back there for another water birth!!" - PMG Member

"KEMH Family Birthing Centre - all the way!!! Continuity of care midwifery model - the same midwife looking after me for all my antenatal appointments, during labour and birthing and all home postnatal visits. How normal pregnancy and birthing should be, in my opinion." - PMG Member.

"I'm going through Rockingham Maternity practice and will be having baba at Rockingham Hospital. I've been for the tour of maternity ward, it's gorgeous, clean and spacious. I've also been in a couple of times for reduced movements and every midwife we have come across has been wonderful, very helpful, polite and really made me feel comfortable. Can't say how excited I am to have my baby there." - PMG Member

"Armadale Hospital - can't recommend them enough, they were great!" - PMG Member

"Armadale has the best maternity services in the state and almost nationally." - PMG Member

"Can only second the above and the lovely midwife I had through Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) at Armadale. I can't fault them. The staff at the maternity ward afterward were amazing too and I felt really looked after. I also got to road test the children's ward there, same thing. Can't praise the staff high enough." - PMG Member

"FSH has had some negative feedback since it opened, but I can’t fault my experience with them – the midwives and doctors who helped me during labour were amazing and all the midwives were lovely – I was so grateful for a couple of them in particular who let me get a few hours sleep by looking after my daughter! They also provided access to lactation consultants." - PMG Member

The Community Midwifery Program (CMP) promote and support natural birth and can support you to have your baby at home, at the Family Birth Centre at King Edward, Kalamunda Birth Unit, or in a public hospital. This publicly funded service is governed by WA Health and is delivered in partnership with The Bump WA.

"Community Midwifery Program for home birth." - PMG Member

"I second the Community Midwifery Program for birth at home or in the Family Birth Centre. Pretty sure they can work in some hospitals too. Amazing to have supportive, midwife-led care with a consistent team who take time to get to know you." - PMG Member

"SJOG Subiaco was great.... the midwife delivering me was just so calm, caring and understanding and all the midwives on the wards were so lovely as well....even when I had my day three blues! They helped my breastfeeding journey get off to a good start to help me hand express and also use a pump to stimulate my milk to come in and to help top up my sleepy jaundiced baby. Definitely going back for the next baby!!"
